Now, around 300,000 coffee farmers in Brazil produce about 40% of the worlds coffee. Arabica (阿拉比卡咖啡) takes up 70% of the coffee beans grown in the country. In Brazil, 3% of export income is from coffee beans. Brazilians are wild about drinking their coffee and consume it all day long. VietnamCoffee found its way to Vietnam in the 1800s. Now coffee industry employs almost 3 million people. Most of Vietnams coffee production is the less appreciated Robusta (罗布斯塔咖啡) variety.

They also make a famous Cappuccino (卡布奇诺咖啡) not found elsewherefamous because it gets a dose of raw egg if thats to your liking. ColombiaCoffee was introduced into Colombia in the early 1700s. In Colombia, about 2.3 million acres of land are planted with coffee. Coffee is the most important agricultural export. There are around 555,000 coffee growers in Colombia. The majority of Colombian coffee plantations are owned by families. Colombians typically start their morning with a tinto. Its a small cup of black coffee thats sweetened with sugar. They may add cinnamon or other spices to jazz it up. IndonesiaIndonesia has a long coffee history that goes back to the 1600s, which has its share of ups and downs. In the late 19th century, the terrible coffee rust disease caused death to many of the high-quality coffee plants.

After graduating from my university and accepting a position at Clemson University in 2003, I kept in touch with James Ransome. In 2005 I received a grant from the government to conduct a family-literacy program. I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans.
